"Ryan's title with the team remains as CEO. But sources also say Daniels now has final say over all baseball decisions and George the final say over business decisions."

Perhaps Ryan and Dubya will pool their resources with Wells and Hunter to buy the Angels to get back at Jon Daniels et al.

There is no other picture to take.

cool..i'll be able to wear my throwback now without feeling a tinge of guilt lol

A CEO should never have to yield any power to his lesser, a General Manager or a Vice President. The Rangers are going back to being a ****ed up organization.

^^^^^music to my ears!

Daniels is really good. It was quite wise for them to promote Daniels in November per the report. As long as Daniels is in charge the Rangers are going to be dominant force in the AL.

I always thought Nolan was more of a PR stint than somebody who actually bad baseball operation decisions.

According to the Texas owners, the story is conjecture and there is no change in Ryan's role.  Title promotions, yes.  And someday Ryan, 66, will retire. Stepping stones are likely in order.  From down here close, there is no change in the structure.  Randy Galloway in particular has stretched it thin, almost conspiracy theory thin, to 'sell' his own story.  Not credible.  Water is still wet.  Air still contains oxygen.  And if Ryan's role is reduced in scope (on paper), there is a pretty good chance that his role hasn't changed a bit - just the PR perception.

Didn't Galloway vote for Michael Young as the AL mVP in 2011? Dude is a total clown reporter. Reading between the lines IMO Nolan fed the story to Galloway as a power play move. Just my intuition.

Daniels handled the Hamilton situation like a class GM.

 

Except for the lies.

And that makes him less of a GM how..?

[angelduck]

Daniels is a phenomenal GM IMO. I'd easily put him in the top 5. Probably top 3

I guess in some people's mind a lack of truth is not a bad thing as long as it serves a need.

Whatever that means. Anyway, he's a great GM in terms of baseball management. I don't really care how my GM handles other things. He's done a great job in Texas and has made them into a powerhouse.

Didn't DiPoto basically lie to Torii Hunter?

Whatever.

It would a much bigger deal if Daniels left than if Ryan left IMO.

[Wallerrrr]

to be fair, Torii's tune kinda changed too YoT.

[Lou]

Torii lied

Agree

"Come to the Rangers, we have Jon Daniels".  Not as strong a selling point.

[sneaky_flute]

nolan ryan is just a figurehead and i doubt there's a power struggle in the organization. he's getting old and wants to spend time grilling hotdogs with his grandchildren.

[YouthofToday]

Players chase money, winning and playing time. I don't think Nolan leaving is going to impact their ability to sign free agents at all.

Photojournalists take awkward photos of everyone. For every "good" photo you see published, there's usually 3 to 30 bad ones. While photoshop has really cut down the ratio, it's unavoidable.

As far as Nolan Ryan being ousted, if true, that's maybe the best news the Angels, and the rest of the AL West for that matter, could receive. Nolan is responsible for the Rangers recent success more than any other person. And they have been extraordinarily successful the past few years, despite their not getting the ring.

My vote would be for Daniels
